That sounds awesome which charger? How did you rig the battery connections?

Any one built a dc to dc charging system? Seems like the way to go if we are counting watts. What converter to use? Does the 100 amp car battery provide a pure sinewave?

Any one actually set up a dc to dc charge system? What converter? Fused? No pure sinewave direct from battery?

I think I fixed mine, maybe it was random, worth a try... maybe a dead battery fix?

I would lke the charger, let me know how much. hmm is there a private message on this forum , i don't see it...

still for mapping its all you need, the 20 mb resolution is going to be a huge improvement on gopro. But of course for same money you could buy a Phantom 4 Pro, with 20 mb camera

I found these guys in France offering a dream combo solo and sony camera, also list a number of mapping software companies that are new to me, might ask them if they will convert a drone for me to sony camera. What I am looking for is a thermal camera and mapping together, most thermal camera...

I had a battery that failed after I ran down to zero ( drone landed ok), I had tried multiple times to charge it and it just blinked "extra fast" one light. 3DR asked for video of fast flash and then very nicely replaced it for free! now 2 months on I tried again, no luck.... but then I tried...

You mean this : 3DR Charger for Solo Battery SP11A B&H Photo Video "Discontinued " not for sale.....

anyone know of a source for solo battery chargers, 3dr or third party. thanks

I will never abide hahaha anarchy in in the forum....

.....solo is sold on the basis it was built for the specific purpose of film useage, exposure lock is available on every cheap camera put there including your phone.

Well I am sure if a pro shooter replied he/ she would agree auto exposure is a challenge too overcome. If you guys think its all ok try panning from a dark green forest canopy to a white waterfall , or perhaps pan from dim forest to sunset. Can it be made to work? Sometimes but its a trade...

3DR went to great lengths to make a flying camera platform... And I love it, but seriously the more I use my drone the more I wonder what the fxxxxk they were thinking using a camera with no manual exposure... I am already thinking of moving on to another drone for this one reason, to bad I love...
